Africa-Press – South-Africa. The Umkhonto Wesizwe (MK) Party urges South Africans to show support for KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Commissioner, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, by taking to the streets.
Mkhwanazi has been the talk of the country over the past week following allegations he made about corruption within the top brass of the police service.
The MK Party in Gauteng has been in Johannesburg to support him on Monday.
War chants and struggle songs echoed across the streets of the Johannesburg CBD as a group of about 300 MK supporters marched through them.
Leading the pack were a group of elderly men and women in camouflage, which the MK Party says are actual Umkhonto Wesizwe veterans.
The rest of the marchers were wearing custom-made MK t-shirts with the words “hands off Mkhwanazi” written in front of them.
MK party Gauteng spokesperson Abel Tau says now is not the time to stand on the fence.
“If we don’t stand up as citizens of this country now and take the opportunity to put a clear marker between us and those who are against society, it will never come again an opportunity like that.”
Tau says the party is planning another march on Friday, where it will take its frustrations to the country’s seat of power – the Union Buildings in Pretoria.
